About Pellagra
Pellagra is a serious condition caused by a lack of niacin (Vitamin B3), often recognized by its characteristic symptoms affecting the skin, digestive system, and nervous system. While historically linked to specific dietary patterns, it can still affect people today. Effective treatment involves niacin supplementation, but medication costs can be a concern. TheDrugClub helps members afford these vital prescriptions, ensuring access to necessary care.
Pellagra is a nutritional deficiency disease resulting from inadequate levels of niacin (Vitamin B3) or its precursor, tryptophan, in the body. Often called the disease of the "three D's," its classic symptoms include dermatitis (a rash, especially on sun-exposed areas), diarrhea, and dementia (impaired cognitive function). If left untreated, a fourth 'D'—death—can occur.
Historically, pellagra was prevalent in populations whose diets relied heavily on corn, which is low in absorbable niacin. Today
